Don't link dynamic, link static. Make sure libvga.a (self compiled is best, otherwise look for a svgalib-devel package or so) is somewhere where the compiler can find it (like the current dir). I had some problems with this (when I created a static IDE), which I solved by post editing link.res, removing the -lvga line, and adding the libvga.a line with full path there. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
